How Rich Old White Men Are Taking Lunch Money Away From Inner-City Black Kids

Rich White Male Tax Avoidance

According to a Standard and Poor's analysis, average annual state tax revenue fell from 10% to 5% between 1980 and 2011, even as the share of total income for the top 1% of earners doubled. The top 10% and the top 500 CEOs are predominately white males. Our country's missing tax revenue can be found in their growing stock portfolios.

What kind of bullshit statistic is that?

"A majority of a percentage of a select slice is part of an evil race."

Corporate Tax Cheats

Walgreens and Burger King are the most recent manifestations of the so-called inversions that allow companies to skip out on the country that made them successful. They don't want to pay for decades of publicly funded research in technology and medicine; a legal system that protects patents and intellectual property; infrastructure, including roads and seaports and airports to ship their products; unprecedented amounts of local and national security, a nationwide energy grid to power factories, emergency management (FEMA) to clean up industrial accidents.

For every complaint, "Corporation leaves for lower taxes" is further confirmation that, "Lower taxes draw businesses and their tax revenue."

State School Funding Gone

Overall spending on K-12 public school students fell in 2011 for the first time since the Census Bureau began keeping records over three decades ago. The cuts have continued to the present day.

Proof that public education is too wasteful.

Broken-Down Schools

In the last year about 75 schools have been closed in Philadelphia and Chicago, almost all of them in black neighborhoods.

And all of them are in Democrat controlled districts.

But what is really important here isn't the finding of viable solutions but simply making you hate white people.

Same old Politics of Envy shtick. Hint: when government tax rates make avoidance profitable - net of the cost and disruption of moving - avoidance will flourish.

Really? And what does that mean for the over 3 decades of teachers unions poor-mouthing?!

Playing the race card? Isn't it worn through yet? But why are these schools, "Broken Down"? Teachers union contracts that force diversion of maintenance $$ to teacher salaries and bennies? Federal and state regs that force the hiring of bureaucrats to do the mandated inspections/verifications and paperwork? Administrative nepotism, cronyism, and salary bloat? Sweetheart contracts for goods and services? Students and neighborhood people who trash and vandalize school property?

Howzabout, F.) All of the above?

But there's envy to stir up, and blame to shift.

Shouldn't they be screaming at Warren Buffett about this? But I have yet to see a single thread on the island cursing and swearing in his direction.

All you have to do to get a free pass from the DUmmies is say, "Tax me more".

This is a well-known phenomenon that every state government is bitching about.

Revenue declines due to sales tax not being collected from online purchases.

Those evil white CEOs must be one-clicking on Amazon all day long.

Gee...whatever could the reasons be?  Property values?  Abortion?  Black flight?

Are there any public schools in Philadelphia or Chicago that aren't filled with blacks or mexicans?
